The RACE

The race consisted of 5 laps of a 6 kilometre course at 7 Mile Reserve.  Each lap contained of 330 metres vertical of climbing.  The race started with a 1 km run with your front wheel.

Incredibly the weather gods were on our side and the rain stopped long enough for the race.

The QMTBC would like to thanks everyone for coming down (from as far as Whangarei and Aussie).  We hope you enjoyed or race and your stay in Queenstown.  Normally it doesn't rain this much!

"Also, I've gotta say that you guys put together one hell of a course!  It was awesome fun, but man, it broke me.  I think that was the general consensus of everybody that was staying with us (that included Spidey, the skeleton, the luchedore, the nurse as well as a few others)." Anja

"I just wanted to reinforce my comments following Saturday's race. Fantastic location, very challenging course, and great, supportive marshals, all made up for a most enjoyable race. Simon and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves." David

"I participated in the race on Saturday. It was brilliant, thank you." Tim 

"many thanks for a great event at Anzac weekend, we had a ball, although the course was pretty brutal!" Peter.
